Chasing Golden Dawn: A Frozen Morning at Gan Haizi Before Jade Dragon Snow Mountain

#discoverchina #lijiang
On our way to the majestic Jade Dragon Snow Mountain，we made a stop at Gan Haizi,a stunning alpine meadow nestled at the foot of the mountain, to witness the breathtaking Sunlight Golden Mountain,a magical moment when the first rays of dawn paint the snow-capped peaks in dazzling gold. The morning was freezing cold so we bundled up in thick layers, but the awe-inspiring view was absolutely worth it!
To catch this unforgettable spectacle, be sure to check the sunrise time daily using a weather app, as the exact timing changes throughout the year. Gan Haizi itself is a serene, grassy basin surrounded by lush forests, offering a peaceful retreat with mirror-like lakes reflecting the towering mountain. Whether in summer, when wildflowers bloom, or winter, when frost blankets the ground, this spot is a must-visit for nature lovers and photographers alike. Don’t miss it!
